Quinn was looking down at her boots as she walked down the sidewalk on her way home. Her eyes caught the sight of several masks thrown away, littering the ground in addition to all the other trash. One would think the city would become cleaner if no one was around to toss away their empty bottles, cans, food packaging, and whatnot but it looked like it was the opposite. At least the summer heat wasn’t a thing anymore to make it smell even worse.
Having her phone clutched in one hand she looked at the screen, pressing her thumb on the bottom of it to unlock it. No signal. A sigh left her lips. What used to be normal, like having internet, a phone signal, lights, was slowly but steadily taken from most people. There wasn’t even one bar showing up. She couldn’t even read the latest news.
The sudden noise of someone screaming made her look up from the screen, eyes fixed forward. She whipped her head around as she tried to find the source of the scream when the window of a store shattered into pieces just a couple of steps ahead of her.
She watched as a group of masked people jumped out of the window, spilling even more glass shards on the ground around the storefront. "Hey!" she called out to them but was ignored as they took off. Following the breaking of the window, it would be standard procedure for an alarm to follow ringing but there was nothing but silence. There was no electricity to keep it running. Poor store owners were left with no security these days and this scene that unfolded right in front of her eyes just seemed to be something happening more often now. Who would stop them if the police were busy dealing with other things like those stupid home raids.
Quinn looked around, running her hand through her ponytail, searching for a patrol unit. The streets were as empty as usually at this time of the day. Marching forward the brunette was thinking of going after them but they already disappeared into the dark. Murmuring something under her breath she walked over to the broken window, glass shards crunching under her boots as she stepped on them.
What a mess. Brown eyes glanced down at the bottom part of the window before heaving over one leg after another, stepping inside the store. Just checking if anyone was inside and perhaps needed help. There were pieces of glass inside the store as well, shelves were thrown over as if they had to leave in a hurry for whatever reason. She wondered how they got inside in the first place if they decided to jump through a perfectly fine window to escape.
"Hello? Anyone here?"
